This is nice and all, but the bible will tell you any number if different hypocrisies regarding whether you have to go to god or he'll come to you, whether he knows all or only knows selectively, etc.<br />
<br />
Plus, what the others said: how many people have gone to god and it has done pretty much nada for them? Either god's an a@@hole or he doesn't exist; either way, I'm voting against and not for.

Just don't reply to this message at all and forget about it. It's just one of those "look at my amazingly cool metaphore!"-mails that keep on circling the internet. By the time you have replied to this mail, 100.000 more of these have been sent out into the wonderful world of the internet. It's just no use.

I don't think this deserves the dignity of an answer. I would not reply I would delete and move on. And/or I would block the sender. It is just typical a typical spam mail/chain letter thing. Possibly carrying a virus.

Well this is pretty stupid. Some of the people I know that suffer the most are also people that are the most religious. The other problem is that I think that's a poor argument on Atheism's part to deny the existence of God and that's fundamentally NOT our problem with theism. If I was a believer, I would say that God allowed suffering because the complexity of reality simply escapes human cognitive limitation-- we can't imagine why a benign god would allow people to suffer.

Well this is pretty stupid. Some of the people I know that suffer the most are also people that are the most religious. The other problem is that I think that's a poor argument on Atheism's part to deny the existence of God and that's fundamentally NOT our problem with theism. If I was a believer, I would say that God allowed suffering because the complexity of reality simply escapes human cognitive limitation-- we can't imagine why a benign god would allow people to suffer. What's the point of life if nobody suffered? Really? If everybody on earth had a mansion and a million dollars in the bank and an expensive car . . . how could you appreciate it? How would society work? It just wouldn't. Suffering is there because it needs to be, regardless of what humans think a god should or shouldn't do. If anything it only supports the idea that there could be a Deist god-- a god who made the world and then left it alone because it needed to be left alone.<br />
<br />
My problem with God is instead that the idea is purely illogical and, in my opinion, *impossible*. There is absolutely no evidence pointing to God at all and it's not a notion I consider with any length of seriousness anymore.

I agree with this so much, not that my life has been Horrid or anything, but it was the little stuff for me, like asking for help on quitting smoking (because it was a sin), or asking for help losing weight (becuse gluttony was a sin) Of course in reality, I knew I had help to do those things (because god helps those who help themselves), but you see where I was going with that. and like Jason (below) Note: god does not exist lol<br />

That whole mail implies that God saves the one who "come" to him. I know allot of people that do not come to God and aren't doing any of that suffering and cruelty.<br />
<br />
How come those who do not come to god, live a better life? Those who use the scientific method to create the world around you, including medicine, transport, clothing, food, etc. That would be a reverse question.

This is simple. The barbers’ (atheist) argument is somewhat weak in the first place. His reason’s for disbelief is no reason for disbelief in the first place. He is immediately equating the existence of God with that of a loving God. The customer never said in order for a God to exist it must be a loving God. Abandon children, sick people, and pain/suffering could be evidence for the argument of weather God is loving or not, but it has no relevance as to weather a God exist or not. Weather God…

Weather God loves you or not should not be used as the principle argument in deciding if he exist. He could exist and is just a total asshole. – note God does not exist.

Many atheists are ex-believers who have earnestly petitioned God for help.<br/>
<br/>
The deafening silence we got in return is often what prompted us toward atheism.
